This page presents BishopAccountability.org's current tally of 276 accused
clerics who worked in the Boston archdiocese. For more information about the priests on our list, please consult the
BishopAccountability.org accused
priest database. The list below includes clerics who worked their entire careers in Boston, and it also includes clerics who worked in several dioceses, including Boston.

This is a list of accused priests, not a list of guilty or convicted
priests. Some of the priests on this list have been sent to jail for sexually
abusing minors. Others have denied the charges against them and will never
be prosecuted because the statute of limitations has lapsed. In our legal
system, an accused person is considered innocent until proven guilty. Most of the priests are accused of offending in the Boston archdiocese. Some are accused of offending elsewhere, but worked in the Boston archdiocese as well.

Note that the Boston archdiocesan and Boston Globe lists do not together provide a complete accounting of accused priests who have worked in the Boston archdiocese. The names currently known that are missing from those lists are indicated below with a red >. Those ommitted names currently total 47, but the actual number is certainly higher.
